Mr. Forsyth tako? the cor rect view of the plan, and I hope our immedi ate Representative, Hon. Martin J.

It will not fail to produce discontent and trouble. If a tax is imposed at all, (which I sincerely deprecate) it should bo as light an possible; and to make ii so, every effort should bo made to get our people to taka the Governments per cent bonds. If the proper ef fort is made I believe a vory lajge amount of Bank notes can be raised in this way. But it is evident Government cannot get all to invent in these Bond 4 even at 8 per cent interest, while a tax will reach every one. Now, if G veroiuent van raise seventy-five million?-^1 .on millions being the amount required for twelve months) by these individual subscriptions, it blight do to raise the other twenfy-flvo millions by a tax. 1 am fearful, however, that even tbia amouut would produce trouble; while it is doubtful if the seven fity-ve millions can be secured roran under tho most extraordinary effort. Jr fair like the preeent one, ice muit tv ‘jovrtneU l-t tie cinum etanree eurroued.iK/ ♦<•. The w:<i*t Gi.vcmmt u * often, under pressing circumstances, have been compelled to depart temporarily from first princi ples. I admit that a tax on each SIOO worth >f projrarfy which every one <wn#, Is the cor reel principle, an J in ordinary times I would ad vocate its inflexible rule, as it dispenses equal and exact justice to all, but at this time ond in our present condition, I urn confident that u tax of twenty-five millions i? not good policy. The plan proposed by mo and so ably allocated by Mr. Forsyth and others, is tbo only one which presents itself to my mind, calculated to secure the object without producing anxiety or trouble. That plan is to sell the while of tbe incoming crop of cotton to the Government for Treasu ry Notes of suitable denominations. These notes to be deposited in the Banks and Agencies in all the cities where cotton is sold, and to he paid out by them f r it. Tho Government to have the cotton bought by buyers under oath on commission, say cents per bale at it* mar ket value, stored and shipped to the sea ports, consigned to its Factors or Custom House Collec tors, and to be disposed of as Government may deem bast. Congress to provide fur the re demption of the notes after tbe war is closed, by taxation or sale of the cotton, gradual y per annum. In this way the planters got :i ?afo cur rency for tbeir cotton at its market value. The business of the country in every department is relieved of tightness, every trade ia 1 calling is stimulated, gloom and dependency averted, pro gress, improvement and cheers ;!n inaugura ted, while our hard worked President aud Cabi net will have the means to keep in the Cold tbe requisite force needed by them, ar.d with the aid of our Heavenly Father, be enabled to w.rk out for us and themselves a safe deliverance now utul forever from Yankee domination. _ CHATHAM. VIRGINIA CORRESPONDENCE. .Sawai.l’s Ponrr, Va., June 19,J86L bear Tint*; Tho desire of some members cf tb* Battalion to Lave the “animal** dissected, and examined in the Navy Yard hero, will delay, for a few days, the arrival of the xhe’l, whoso tending was advertised in a previous letter. I have been informed by en experience*] naval offi cer, that tho cost of each ne of these shells is aboat sl4, and that r.f an ordinary ‘ur 11 inch shell, SSO to $.*J5. The profligate waste of these valuable materials by the enemy, in theinreccnt engagements is quite opposed to the mean par simony, which has ever been the inveterate ebar aeteristi.2 of mercenary Yinkeedom. Among the galling mortifications whieh are, Just now, draping the Northern press in indignation and grief, and beneath which Northern patriotism wilts, a consciousness of tho pecuniary loss atten ding this novel generosity must be prominent. Another gratuity, and a heavier installment than that of Sunday, was tendered to us from the Rip Raps, yesterdsy morning. Mis* Augusta J. Evans attracted the fat!**’ fro r.f the mo-,. mini moot snear. Iheir shot and shell, like death, also “love a shining mark.'* The difference, however, is that tho shaft of tbo grim monster is fatal, unuorring, inevitable—becauso directed by tho almighty arm of an umlpoteut Goil. The wrath of tho former is chained because aimed by n cowardly, and base foe, an 1, in every instance, they fall, harmless at tho it* : of their inteudend victims, Aetiug Lieut. Col. Lomax, of the Alabama Reg iment, was attending Mira K. and a company of ladies and gentlemen along tbo bench at Sewatf’s Point Battery, and, when they had approached as near as they could git to tho Rip Raps, and stopped to make observations, a snot from “Saw yer s American cannon” waa aimed, deliberately, at them, which fell iu t!io water, some 50 yards short, but in a direct lino with the group. Tho gifted an 1 spirited authoress of Beulah, has never, before witnessed an exhibition of gal lantry like tht*— *nexhibition which was prompt ly acknowledged by the waving of handkerchiefs and other demonstration, qf eternal hostility and undying defiance to such a foe. After another ineffectual shot, the gun was elevated and ton more shots wore made at tbe Battery, ns n Sun day. They all buried themselves in tbo s.ind, before ■ *■ off..*. aud, as n.-ual, • a #,.y u hurt.” tlen. Huger, who stationed for several \ears at fo-rlrtM Monroe, during the palmier ! days of tho Old Confederacy, oouduitied, it is j said, tho very gun, from which these shell were projected. If, as some support, this gun is to be placed aboard the Harriet Lane, and fired upon the Battery from an ano!.r*igc in front, beyond tbe range of r.ur guns, it will he quite a# hntnj tie ia its present position; because the shell wilt either bury themselves in tho sand before they explode, or missing tho Battery, and spend ding their force without encountering an object, they will fall, without exploding, the large end to the ground. Kx Gov. Cobb *ho has two sou? in the ranks **f one of tbo Macon companies, arrived at our encampment, late Monday afternoon, just before the Battalion retired from dress-parade. A ‘rest* was ordered and ho was requested to uddress us on the ground. 11 is brief response to our call, is said by thoSx who have t-fu-a beard him, to be one of his must felicitous efforts. A sentiment from such a sourco u apt to be damaged when overhauled by an inferior reporter. But that you may have some idea of the general tenor of the speech, 1 will attempt a literal quotation of one or two sentences. After telling us that he came, I not to speak, but to see —that ha had no news beyond wha wo found In the pr -9 of tho coun ty Ac, said he. 1 uuu proud to moot you, my i lends, on the soil or v!, tdd Dominion, and when we return to I oar *•■ matif’£fate, 1 will extend,tp you a hearty j greeting theres hot ** e God, I would rather n;ia >• tl wfiuld dri* k%p .. . *r blood and become 3 our I'irJal ground, than that Virginia should | j !-e (b liverod overto her cnnmler, through want jif courage in you to protect her from her inva- Iders.” in concluding his speech, be said: “The history f camp-life, in all ages and countries, j hu3 been a record cf demoralization. My friends ii uin y ur power to change this record. Y’ou < ai come out tram this campaign, better men than when you entered it. Let this simple rule be tbe guide of your conduct; utter no word, eo ram it no act, which could bring the slighter suffering to a loving heart at home. The earnest prayers of anxious mothers, and of loving pisters, arc constantly sent heavenward in your behalf. Uuito your prayers with them, and while you shall honor your country, you will bless the loved ones whom yr.n left.** Tho deep pathos of these simple words could only burn in a patriotic heart, but tbe hare repe tition of the words, will convey t> you no idea of the magic emphasis given to them by the tone and earnest manner of tbe speaker. At the conclusion of his speech, by bis request, •ne of the companies c api- icg the battalion was drawn up in front of him and went through tbo inanuei of arms. I was present {ho next day when Lieuu Col. Lomax invited him f- * ■ arid witness the best drilling ho had ever seen before. “All sir,” :mid Mr. C„ jocularly, “to and your regiment justice, I should have visited your quarter* be fore 1 came here. To go there now, would be like taking a traveler to Baltimore after he bad visited N-w York. I tell you, air, 1 haveyettO find the company that does better than that did, ve. torda.v ; I have never yet seen but a part of one regiment that docs um nell.” This compli ment, from one of Geot,pa - * noblest sou-*, and one of nature’s greatest tv- ought to be very gratifying to tho company upon whom it was bestowed. It is Rotafici) that two such intellects a* .Miss Evans an l the Hon. Howell Cobb meet on the same encampment. The latter dined yesterday at tho bead-quarters of tbo Macon companies, and tbo latter at the Marquee of our bachelor Captain. Her sparkling conversational powers and brilliant vivacity of manner*, interrupted, vory pleasantly, the dull, uionotous routine of every day camp life. Such visits arc of incalcu lable benefit to our soldiery, and we trust that they will bo frequently repeated. Tho intelligence ofih evacuation of Harper’s Ferry, ia received with regret, but in it we are willing to recognize a necessary and advanta geous military movement. It ia wiser to have tbs great energies of tho country *u distributed as to repel general invasion, than to have a very lurge force concentrated at any one point, I care not bow important that point tn*y be to us. A saiuto of twelve guns at the Fortran yes terday morning, indicated, cither the rrival of more troops or of other officers. A better install ment of both issadl f needed there. There seems to be a continual on-coming of the cohort* of tbo cnon.y. Ltttbem come!— They will need many ond bravqr soldiers than are now in the field. For their onward march will oppose the terrible “victory or death” rt*.- tancu of tbe men, women arid children of a unanimous and united tsouth; I think you may look for stirring news from this quarter, ar.d from the whole rf-tate, soon. Tte on-set will be made, and it moat be manfully met. It is horri ble to think of the carnage and butchery that must follow. Peace ia tetter—an honorable poaco— •ie which would not compromise the dignity of either nation, and which would be equal and just to all. If *u?h a fwace could ho ohtaiuod, even yet, would we pray heaven to send it .speedily,- If it oami -t, then “let discord roign forever.” BERRIEN. V .tl :■ *I; o (’ lun.b';* Til; •.

Uu turning tbo curve Hourly, when within a quarter of a inilo of Vienriu, wo were tired upon by a raking masked buttery of, I think throe gun -, with HhelL, round shot und grape, hilling and wounding the men on the j fortoim and mi the ears, before the train <■< uhl l.e slopped. When the train wu.i stopped tlio ‘•ngineer could not, on account of tho damage dono to some part of the running machinery, draw the train out of tlio range of the enemy’s firo. The engine being in tbe roar, wo left tbo curs and reirented to tbe right and left of the train through tho wood*. Finding Ibut the enemy’s batteries woro sustained by what ap peared to be about a regiment of Infantry, and j by Cavalry, which for o *” have since understood to have been seme 1,500 South Carolinians, we fell t ask along tbe railroad; thr wing out skir mishers on both flanks. This was about 7 o'clock P. M. thus we retired slowly, hearing off otir wounded fivo miles to this point, Little balls Chnrch, which wo reached Bill) o'clock P. M. Tho casualties are as follows: Copt. Harriett’* company, 2 known to be killed, and it wounded ; .j inisftifig. Capt Bailey's com; any G, ■> killed, 2 wounded, and 2 missing. Caps. Paddock's company E, l officer slightly wounded, Capt. Pease, and 3 missing. Tbe engineer, when the roan left the cars, de tached his engine,with the passenger car from the rest of the disabled Itain, and abandoned us, running to Alexandria, and we have beard nothing from him nine©. Thus we were deprived of a rallying point, and of all means of accom panying the wounded, who had to be carried on litters and in blankets. We wait here, holding tbe road for reinforcement*. The onetny did not pursue. I have ascertained that tho enemy’s force ut Fairfax Court House, four mile from Vienna, is now about 4,000 strong. When all the bat teries were opened upon us, Major Hughey was at hi* station on tho foremost platform cur.— Col. McCook nos with me in ono of the passen ger cars. Both of these officer* with others of the commissioned officers and many of tlie men, behaved most coolly under this most galling lire, whieh we could u<f return, and from batteries which we could not flank or turn, owing to the nature of the ground. The approach to Vicma ii through a ric6p,loDg cut in the railway. Ou leaving the :rs aad before they could rally, many of my men lost their hnrersacks or blan ket*, but b'-v v *t of all their muskets, exeer t, it may be, a f* w that w ro destroyed by tho ene my’s first iiro, or lost with those who were kilted. {.Signed] ROBERT C.

As they left says the Washington Star, a truin came down from Vienna, bringing tight killed and 14 ur 16 wounded.
